in reply to Re^2: The Deceiver
in thread Why does a Perl 5.6 regex run a lot slower on Perl 5.8?

I do not understand your reasoning. This loose collective that you are calling the perl community is supposed to police the entire tech sector to make sure that perl is implemented correctly everywhere? Even the 8000 pound Gorilla of Microsoft can't do something like that (I've seen pretty horrible stuff done with their tools). That is akin to saying the fact that your house is defective is the fault of the company who made the hammers that were used.
